I recently shared this info with a couple of respected members of this forum and they said I should post it for the members interested in putting their Highlanders on floats, so here goes...
I had a request a couple of months ago from Zenair to write a short article to be placed beside their ad in the Aviator's Hotline magazine distributed at Oshkosh. Apparently, they liked it and it was published in that magazine. The link can be found here... http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/444022a2#/444022a2/38
Last month they contacted me again and asked if Aviation Digest could re-title it and publish it in the September issue as a general interest story in the seaplane section. I agreed and that can be found here... http://www.aviation-digest.com/Current_issue_.html#13
The first one is the easiest one to read and has the best photos!
The article was not intended to be technical in any way, just an easy read that would generate interest in seaplanes and float flying as well as point out that building a set of floats can be done by anyone with some basic skills. I hope you enjoy it.
